A valve control on my Amana grill was forced to the clockwise until it stripped (not the knob - the knob is fine). The valve stays open and the dial just turns around with no effect. I am assuming that this is a relatively simple repair and/or that this part is somewhat standard and I can pick it up somewhere - I guess that would be my preferred method, to replace the part.

I actually located this, which is for the side-burner for my unit and includes a part very similar to what I need - with a slight difference on the end of the nozzle. I've got to determine if that will make a difference or not. I actually have the side-burner that I don't use, so if I cannot get the actual part, I'll look into cannibalizing it.

Maybe somebody who is better at scratch building and those kind of improvised repairs can give you a better idea if my idea is feasible.

Yeah, that's what I thought/was hoping.

I'll get it figured at some point, but thought I'd check and see if someone could make it easier for me.

Actually, when my old garden grill was broken a couple of years ago, I found a old, non-working grill online and bought it for a cheap price. I took a couple of parts that I needed and fixed my grill. Maybe you can do the same thing by looking on eBay or other marketplaces.
